Godefroy was not promoted to Wg Cdr until September 1943, at which time he was entitled to mark his aircraft with his initials. The Spitfire IX marked 'HC-G' in the RCAF photo of him with his aircraft is MH831.

Re: serial no. for Godefroy's Spitfire IXc HCoG needed
Hello Chris. Thank you for the correction and the info. The website I got the info from made a typo in the kill list info where they list it as 1942 - their text has it correct at 1943. I didn't pick that up ..........
Thanks again for the serial! |
